Global Growers Network

Global Growers Network partners with people from diverse cultures who grow fresh food for their families and for local marketplaces.

Together, we build and sustain networks of land, resources, markets, and people in order to create a more equitable food Global Growers Network is a nonprofit that increases the number of food producers who create access to healthy nutritious food that is sustainably grown and also prepares commercial farmers to be competitive in their local marketplace. Global Growers grew out of the tremendous d

emand among international farmers, many of whom came to Atlanta as refugees of war. These farmers sought to reconnect to their agricultural heritage in their new home. Recognizing this exceptional talent, Global Growers connects local families to land, education, and markets in order to build healthier communities and to strengthen our local economy. Global Growers is committed to cultivating growing spaces and other resources for farmers who are traditionally underserved by mainstream agricultural service providers and community food organizations. We prioritize serving individuals who have come to Georgia as refugees/immigrants and who were experienced food producers in their countries of origin. Consequently, we have a primary focus on racial and ethnic groups who are underserved and underrepresented in our communities. We also serve all commercial farmers in Metro-Atlanta and the state of Georgia who have proven production experience and have limited resources for, or face significant barriers to, food production or launching farm businesses.

🌱 This spring was one for the books at Global Growers Network.

216 growers welcomed across 93 garden plots. Nearly $100,000 raised at A Meaningful Feast. A 2026 Slow Food Snail of Approval Award — top score in Atlanta. New irrigation and a pollinator garden at Rockdale Organic Co-Farm. 5 new board members and 5 new staff joining the mission.

None of this happens without you. Behind every plot, every harvest, and every market stands a volunteer who showed up and a donor who believed.
